Avoiding one camp for another

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

I'm ignoring the Myrmidon. The battlecruiser is fairly obvious bait, confirmed when I see the trap sprung, strategic cruisers decloaking to pop an unfortunate victim local to this class 3 w-space system. I'll continue my scanning, looking for an exit so that I can guide an isolated Mick back to ...

Caught in a trap

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Oops. Leaving our wormhole in a critical condition last night worked out well for me and Fin, but Mick took a stroll later on and had the connection collapse behind him. At least we now know it would have only taken one more jump for us to complete the operation, ...

Going after gassers

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

My time today is short, but not so short that I can't take a quick look around for a soft target. Scanning at home should remain simple enough, with five registered sites and, um, five signatures. Either we don't have a static wormhole today or one of the sites has ...

Straightforward scanning

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Glorious leader Fin is floating in a ladar site, I'm going to scan my way out of our home w-space system. Or I could let her guide me to our static wormhole, as Fin is harvesting gas and rocks lazily, activating all the mining sites in the system. I saved ...

Mangling a Manticore

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Whilst I've been watching what may well be a cardboard cut-out of a Bestower there has been some activity behind me. The class 2 w-space system I scanned my through to get to this boring class 3 system has woken up, glorious leader Fin following in behind me in her ...

Bumping in to danger

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

All is quiet. At least, for us. Mick and I have popped a Noctis salvager in a class 2 w-space system connecting to our home, and are leaving that system behind to find nothing happening through our static wormhole. Neither the neighbouring C3 nor the C5 connecting in to that ...

Malinterception

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

There are lots of wormholes today, and directions to all of them are available in convenient bookmark form. I copy the bookmarks to the nav-comp of my Manticore stealth bomber and go out for a roam. 'But no one in space', Mick tells me as I leave. We'll see about ...

Counter-ambush with a twist

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Fin warps back to our tower to drop a bookmark in our shared can, politlely letting me jump ahead in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. I'm not sure why, as I completely missed spotting the wormhole amongst all the other signatures and had to follow behind just to ...

Waiting for a tourist

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Roaming our neighbouring system is short-lived. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a look in the class 3 w-space and am happy to see ship activity. A Drake battlecruiser is at one of the two towers, along with a Buzzard covert operations boat, and I can see a ...

Bubbles are meant to inconvenience others

Friday, March 4th, 2011

The rocks are dead. The mining sites that I activated a few days back have despawned, leaving nothing but empty space where they once were. That's nineteen bookmarks I can remove from my folder, and nineteen fewer pins in the system map to confuse my finding our static wormhole each ...
